Democratic Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg ruled out a run for Congress today and said he plans to seek re-election in 2016.

Aronberg had been mentioned as a potential candidate for the House seat of Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter, who launched a 2016 Senate campaign this week.

Aronberg put the congressional speculation to rest today.

“My heart and passion remain here as State Attorney to continue the progress we’ve made,” Aronberg said. “I have committed to making Palm Beach County a safer place to live and intend to keep doing that. So, after many conversations with my fiancé, family and supporters, I will formally announce in the coming months that I will be running for re-election and not Congress.”
